The grey primer has the real

advantage of bringing the whole

model together and stopping it

looking like the collection of old tat

that it really is and helps, I find,

focus on shapes rather than the

colours of the individual

components.

The only exception I made to the

over all primer look was the silver

barrel I’d stuck in the rear of the

building. It was so nicely pre-

painted as a toy, with yellow and

black ‘hazard’ tape and a number

already applied, I didn’t want to

waste the effort so carefully I

masked that out with some broad

masking tape before I started

spraying.

I was pleased with the fairly busy look of the roof areas with the resin air-con units.
